Amazon Pet Day Tech Deals Worth Barking About: Cameras, Feeders, Trackers, More

Nestled right between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, Amazon is celebrating another important family holiday. It’s Pet Day, where there are big discounts on all the stuff you need for your household animals, from fluffy beds to tasty treats. We do cover a wide variety of pet-related technology here at PCMag, from trackers to robot vacuums, so we decided to go through the listings and find deals on products we’ve reviewed and loved. Here are some of the best tech offers we were able to fetch for Amazon Pet Day.

The Furbo 360 is our Editors’ Choice winner for dog cameras, giving you everything you need to keep an eye on your four-legged best friend in a durable and versatile package. In our review, we applauded its ability to keep your pet in view with a full 360 degrees of pan control plus automatic motion tracking. Color night vision helps spot them when you’re out in the evening, and bark alerts can ping you when they’re making noise. You can even reward good behavior with a built-in treat dispenser that pops out munchies on command. It integrates with Alexa devices for voice control, and right now it’s 45% off for Amazon Pet Day.

Cats are trickier to track than dogs. so Furbo’s camera for your feline friends includes a couple modifications to make them more attracted to it. In addition to a fully rotating camera that covers all angles, it comes in a darker color with a dangling cat toy attached to the top to catch your pet’s attention. The camera captures crisp 1080p video and relays it to your phone or other device, and it also has a treat dispenser, but don’t let your cat watch you fill the snack reservoir at the top, because they’ll never stop trying to get in there. Read our review for a full rundown of how it works.

If you’ve got a dog that loves to wander, keep them contained with our favorite GPS tracker/fence combo. In our review of the Halo Collar 4, we gave it an “Excellent” rating for its multiple types of negative feedback to nudge your pet back to its defined area. Traditional invisible fences require you to bury electrical wire around a perimeter, but the precise GPS controls in the Halo 4 let you easily define areas that are off limits. You’ll need to train your dog to make sure they know the correlation between leaving the fenced-in area and the annoying sound, vibration and static that are triggered, but it’s a durable and reliable method to keep them where they need to be.

I’ve got three mutts at home, and can’t deny some curiosity about what they’re made out of. So a 10% discount on the Embark Breed & Health Dog DNA Kit is the incentive I need to get them tested. We reviewed this robust and exhaustive system when it was released in 2020, calling it “the most accurate and comprehensive canine DNA test” and noting the overwhelming volume of data that it gives you to sort through, including accurate tests for over 190 potential genetic issues. The more you know about your canine friend, the better prepared you’ll be to take care of them as they age.

Sure, wild birds aren’t technically pets, but they can bring a ton of joy and color to your life.

Featuring a 5MP camera that integrates with advanced AI algorithms to identify birds by species, detect signs of illness and more, it’ll send gorgeous snapshots to your devices of the most interesting creatures that stop by, as well as let you know when it needs a refill, all without a subscription fee.
